Background
We were 3 couples traveling together, me and DW, my DB and his DW, and a family friend and her DH. We all were similar age (late 40's to early 60's) and similar interest and did a lot together, but also spent some time to ourselves. None of us were into the nightlife scene so you won't find anything about that here. This was mine and DW's second trip to Alaska, both on the Pearl.
Pre-cruise
Cabin was in great location. Completely surrounded by cabins so no ship noise. Easy access to midship and after elevators, although forward elevators were a bit of a walk but unobstructed the entire way.
